Hi people! I have just finished Torment and figured that if I couldn't read the next one now, I'd write it instead. Of course, the wonderful world of Fallen belongs to it's amazing author Lauren Kate, and without her we wouldn't have the chance to have a major book-crush on Daniel. Not that I do or anything...
Enjoy my random bit of plot! Don't forget to R&R!
When luce stepped out of the Announcer the world seemed to have disappeared into white nothingness. The brightness surrounding her was completely disorienting, and that, along with the exhausting journey through the Announcer and the awful battle in her backyard, was enough to make her faint.
When she began to wake a familiar voice filled her ears. She knew who it was, but she was too overwhelmed to remember.
"Luce? Luce! Are you okay?"
Daniel. She remembered now. As she became more and more concious all her memories seemed to click back into place. The dinner, her friends, her enemies, her parents. And the Outcasts. Miles. He had saved her.
"Luce! Luce, wake up! Oh, please wake up!"
She felt herself being shaken. Daniel was sounding more desperate by the minute. Daniel. She had to wake up for him. She opened her eyes to find the world not so bright as before. Her eyes had just needed time to adjust to the harsh light.
"Luce, you're awake! Oh, I've been so worried. Don't you ever run away like that again!" He sounded relieved, despite his obvious frustration at her actions. He pulled her against him.
"I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry." She replied, pulling herself closer to him. Then the most surprizing thing happened; for the first time that Luce had seen, Daniel started crying.
"I... I thought I had lost you and... I don't know how I would have survived if..."
"It's okay, I'm here," Luce comforted him.
